Pets at Our Shelter:

Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:

We are a small, municipally run, animal control shelter in north St.Louis County. We service animal complaints only in the town of St.Ann but we adopt out all over the metro area and surrounding counties. As a municipal shelter we are somewhat limited on how long we can hold the animals but that does not stop us from using all avenues available to us to succeed in a live release. We are not a no-kill shelter at this time but our dedicated staff of volunteers and partnerships with other local rescue groups may eventually get us there.

Come Meet our Pets:

At this time the guests in our shelter are available to be seen through appointment only. Please contact us to schedule a meet and greet.

Our adoption events are held at the St.Ann PetCo.

Our Adoption Process:

If you are interested in adopting a pet from us we first require an adoption application filled out. Once the application is submitted one of our adoption counselors will contact you to set up a formal meet and greet. If the decision is made that it is a good fit between you and the pet we will then set up a home visit. Often times the meet and greet and home visit can be done at the same time for your convenience. Our adoption fee for dogs is $150.00. This covers our costs for vet services. When adopting a pet from us the pet will be spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, micro chipped and tested for internal parasites and other disease such as heart-worms and FeLuke and FIV. We accept the adoption fee and a formal adoption contract when the pet is turned over to you. Should the pet not work out in your home or should a life changing event happen and you are no longer able to keep the pet we ask that the pet be returned to us or that we are notified of new ownership. We will always take our pets back, however, the fee is non refundable.

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and you'll
have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting
a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats
for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs
and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of
dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed
is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten
breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat
or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt
a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane
society or pet rescue group.
